Hernandez, 28, was slated to be closer Addison Reed's primary right-handed setup man this season in Arizona. Hernandez is coming off a 2013 season in which he pitched to a 4.48 ERA and 2.75 K/BB ratio in 69 2/3 innings of work. From 2011-12, however, Hernandez logged a 2.94 ERA and 175 strikeouts in a combined 137 2/3 innings.

Assuming Hernandez is indeed done for 2014, then J.J. Putz will likely serve as the primary right-handed bridge to Reed, absent other moves.
